A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

This is a “STUPID” tattoo

…But will he regret it? By Derick Allen at Skin Deep Tattoos at Winter Haven, FL.

Sorry, I do not have an answer right now to your “why” questions.

EDIT: I just got the following note to share:

He had been thinking of this tattoo for two years and finally did it… Derrick Allen at Skin Deep Tattoos here in Winterhaven, FL said — and I quote — “if you’re stupid enough to do that, I will do it for free”, and then it was all done. There were thirteen people in the booth with camera phones, digital cameras… it was crazy! People were calling friends saying “dude, you won’t believe this…” It was the best… he has more crazy facial and head tattoos coming including “something” down the side of his nose and a bullet hole on the back of his head. Everywhere we go people try washing it off, and take pictures with their phones to send to friends! It’s great!

Anyway, I posted loads of stuff today here so don’t be mad if I take tomorrow off (from ModBlog). That said, I’m working on adding some guest bloggers here, so maybe there’ll be posts other than my bursts of rambling and random pictures soon.

    I think its great. I don’t see what people are so worked up about. Its not like he got “dirty come-bubble” tattooed on his face. Its his face. If he wants to make it stupified, well then its all for the greater good.

    personally, i wouldn’t do it, but he seems to be happy with it. i would be interested to hear his reasoning behind it….

    and while employers are not supposed to hire/fire you based on appearances, they CAN tell you to cover up your tattoos/take out your piercings to comply with a dress code. so i guess if this guy wants a bigtime job, he’ll have to buy some dermablend.

    Zog.. How can you be so sure he’ll regret it, just because you would, doesn’t mean he would.

    As for a job? Just because he has a facial tattoo, one saying stupid no less, doesn’t mean he can’t get a job. Maybe working in a public job would be out the window, but that still leaves thousands of options.

    Am I the only one wondering if this could be part of the Skin Project? A friend of mine was very pleased to be assigned “world,” so maybe this guy just got unlucky and decided to have fun with it.

    god for a tattooed and pierced community alot of you seem to be very narrow minded this guy may regret this tattoo down the line he may not but that is the same with all tattoo’s the fact that he has had the idea for it for 2 years says something. i think that if i had a choice between employing someone with “stupid” tattooed on there head and someone with a necklace of severed penises tattooed around there neck (and yes i’ve seen it in a published article) i know who i’d choose. as a tattoo novice i am surprised by alot of the reactions you some of you guys have had. why not just see it for what it is. A JOKE.
